Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)

What is a Flexible Spending Account (FSA)?

A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) allows consumers to deduct pre-tax dollars from their paychecks and deposit those funds in employer-sponsored accounts to pay for medical expenses. Consumers then submit expense receipts to healthcare administrators for reimbursement.

Description

Insert bite block into victim's mouth, making certain that areas marked nose and chin are placed properly on the victim's face.

Open Victim's airway using the approved head tilt/chin-lift method.

Pinch the victim's nose closed with fingers of one hand.

Rescuer's mouth must be open sufficiently enough to encircle the blue breathing tube. Apply firm pressure with mouth to ensure an adequate seal.

Close attention must be kept to assure proper exhalation by the victim and the possibility of regurgitation or vomit by the victim, thereby obstructing the victim's airway. Clear any obstructions using currently accepted methods.
